Lamine Yamal has no ceiling. At just 17 years old, he has become the most valuable asset at FC Barcelona. His meteoric rise and his ability to decide matches have captivated half the world.
From the Barça board, they keep insisting that there's no intention to listen to offers for the blaugrana "10". However, major European clubs and some exotic giants keep pushing with dizzying proposals. Every week, calls, messages, and contacts from agents arrive, trying to probe the player's entourage.
Despite his young age, Lamine has established himself as a starter and an indispensable piece for Hansi Flick. His understanding with Rashford at the start of preseason has sparked optimism among the technical staff. At the club, they consider him the new emblem of La Masia and a gem that must be protected.
Interest from all corners of the planet
Several Premier League giants have made moves to learn about his contractual situation and availability. PSG as well, seeking to replace Mbappé's departure, has shown persistent interest in the Spanish winger. Even from Italy, there have been approaches, though without the financial capacity to compete with other offers.
In every case, Barça's response has been clear: Lamine Yamal is not for sale under any circumstances. His release clause is €1 billion (1,000 million euros), a symbolic figure but one that clearly signals intent. The club's goal is to build its sporting future around him.
The footballer and his family's stance has also always been the same. Lamine wants to succeed at Barça, where he feels valued and happy. He recently signed a contract extension through 2030, already rejecting multimillion-euro offers from other leagues at the time.
A new attempt that puts Barça on alert
Nevertheless, the interest doesn't disappear. From Saudi Arabia, where several clubs keep dreaming of bringing in young European talent, they've launched a full-scale offensive. One of the country's top teams has presented a financial proposal never before seen for such a young player.
The operation would mean not only a record transfer fee, but also a gross salary unattainable for European soccer. At Barça, they've been surprised by the aggressiveness of the offer, but also calm because of the player's stance. Lamine hasn't considered leaving Camp Nou at any time.
Meanwhile, Hansi Flick has already designed a system in which the young winger will be the absolute protagonist. His dribbling ability, vision, and boldness make him a constant threat to any defense. Flick considers him "non-transferable" and his technical leadership makes it clear every time he speaks privately with Deco or Laporta.
A historic figure from Saudi Arabia
However, the latest proposal has broken all records. Coming from Saudi Arabia, Al Hilal has offered a historic figure. According to sources close to the negotiation, they put a check for €250 million (250 million euros) on the table, something never before seen for a player under 18 years old.
Barça has immediately rejected the proposal, reinforcing its commitment to La Masia's talent. Meanwhile, Lamine hasn't even considered responding: he's happy, newly renewed, and focused on shining with the club of his life. Because, even if they come with gold, Lamine is clear: his place is at Barça.
